Blake Griffin

Blake Griffin once called John Stockton the greatest PG of all time, so I support getting Blake Griffin
 
As far as what it would take to get him, I'd assume the Jazz wouldn't have enough. I'd make Gobert and Mitchell untouchable.

I'd offer Hood, Exum and two first rounders (one unprotected and one with further protections). Specifically, I'd protect the one this year going top 10.

And I dont view the most recent injury as being injury prone. Someone lands on your knee like that, your MCL is getting ****ed up to some degree.

Mitchell/Gobert/Griffin/Ingles is a really nice core. Utah would probably have to find some more European gems to fill out the roster with vets who dont suck and arent expensive.

(I put DeAndre and Williams in there to simulate Griffin since you cant put him in the machine until January).

Jazz put in Favors and Burks to match salary.

Thats a massive overpay for Blake... His injury history and contract make him almost unmoveable.

I think Favs, Bradley, Burks and our 1st would get it done.

This is assuming Clippers go tank mode and want to get young fast.

It may sound like we are paying unders but look at what DMC, Butler, PG13, CP3 have gone for recently.

Not really. It's a 6th man (who would probably be a starter for them), a bench player with some potential (and a worse injury history), an unprotected pick (Jazz should be a playoff team with Griffin), and a future pick for an All-Star and a top 20 player. It's an underpay.
 
I guess if you ignore the fact he is perpetually hurt and likely doesn’t get more durable as he ages... and he’s signed to the Supermax deal. I think I’d rather try and get gallo for expiring contracts than pay a ransom for Blake.

Guy I know bought a salvaged Porsche for half price because it’s a Porsche. Now has to pay 20k for body and engine damage... and the car will still be salvaged. It’s expensive to buy damaged goods.

It's hardly a ransom giving up Hood, Exum, and two picks....

And a guy landed on his knee in a way that is always going to hurt anyone's MCL. He isnt that damaged.
 
If you care about maximizing Gobert's prime, then that deal would be a no-brainer IMO. I just don't think Clippers would do it.

That is his latest injury... I seem to remember he had like 6-7 others to the same leg. One last year that ended his season and was a non contact play if I remember.

I mean do you expect him to be more durable over the next five years... I sure as hell don’t. He’s a salvaged title all star... buyer beware.

I feel like there are huge chunk of people here that have no clue why investing and taking risks are important, and that its not always about today. Tanking is the equivalent of investing, and making risky trades is the equivalent to acting on a risky business idea.. Sacrificing the fun today equals a better tomorrow. Taking risks sometimes pays out big rewards. Sometimes it dont. One thing is for sure though, you wont get better playing scared and not taking risks.

Scared money dont make money.

Jazz nation is the most scared base of fans in the league. They hang their hats on being the 8th seed in the playoffs and getting bounced. Its embarrassing.
